The Snowflake Ski Club was founded in 1922. It has its roots deep in volunteerism, community spirit and good will, boasting over 500 members. That’s in a town of 2000 people. We are one of the two remaining “all volunteer” large hill ski jumping clubs in the Western hemisphere.
Located in the City of Westby, a peaceful community with Norwegian roots, the Snowflake Ski Club is proud to provide a place of entertainment and recreation, year around.
Annually, the Ski Tournament is an event the entire community gets excited about and the event attracts thousands of spectators. International and US jumpers compete on the large hill, often traveling down the jump with speeds in excess of 50 miles per hour flying for hundreds of feet. Ski jumping truly is the original extreme sport.
Our Club is very active during the summer season as well. The Snowflake Golf Course is used by hundreds of people who want to enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility of Timber Coulee. And the Club House is open year round, offering great food and drink, as well as memorabilia showing Snowflake Ski Club’s rich ski jumping history.
